SWEDEN’S Crown Princess Victoria traded her amazing ball gowns for a military uniform - and it wasn’t her first time in camouflage.

The heir to the Swedish throne kickstarted 2019 with a series of important royal duties. On Wednesday, 41-year-old Princess Victoria visited the Life Guard in Kungsängen, where she met members of the Swedish Armed Forces' 13th security battalion. For the occasion, Princess Victoria slipped into a green camo suit sporting the Swedish flag on a sleeve.

During the visit, Victoria was shown how the her country's Armed Forces use dogs to detect threats.

This is not the first time Princess Victoria, daughter of King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden and Queen Silvia, wears camouflage, as the royal undertook a basic soldier training at the Swedish Armed Forces International Centre in 2003.

The experience on the field, despite not including any active military duty, gave the princess a taste of the military life.

Laid back Princess Victoria has no problem in being seen without fancy dresses or tiaras, and has often rocked more informal outfits.

Earlier this month, the official Instagram account of the Swedish Royal Family showed Victoria, her husband Prince Daniel, 45, and their children Princess Estelle, 6, and Prince Oscar, 2, hitting the slope.
